Background

On 17 December, 2021, Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India announced its proposal to set up a 24 MTPA integrated steel plant in Mahakalapada block in Kendrapara district against an investment of Rs 1.02 lakh crore. The project is expected to be completed in a phased manner over seven years, expected to be operational by 2028.[1][2][3] The facility is also expected to produce 18.75 mtpa of cement.[4] As of May 2022, the company was awaiting forest and environment clearances.[5]

In April 2023, the villagers opposed the soil testing work at the site amid apprehensions of environmental degradation.[6] In September 2023, Odisha locals protested against granting land for the proposed plant and seeking rights to the land for which they have been paying rent since 1976.[7]

As of July 2024, land acquisition is in progress for the project.[8] The project is expected to be completed in seven years in phases.[9]
